Canopius strengthens North American team
Canopius Group, a leading specialist re/insurance underwriting business, has appointed Neil McMillan as class underwriter to its North American facilities team, focusing on property, auto and liability lines.
McMillan, who has more than 30 years’ experience in underwriting, rejoins Canopius having previously spent three years with the Group from 2005.
The North American Facilities business has significantly grown since the Canopius acquisition of Omega’s Syndicate 958 in 2012. He will report directly to divisional underwriter Steven Bird who leads Canopius’ North American facilities team.
“North American Facilities is a growing part of our Global Property unit. We’ve successfully integrated Omega’s book into Canopius and significantly increased our business across a diverse portfolio. I believe that success comes from more than just quoting the right price,” said Mike Duffy, CEO global property at Canopius. “It is delivered by having an experienced team and a culture that supports intelligent and collaborative thinking, as well as considered risk analysis. Neil’s appointment enables us to build on our established team and offer even more to our brokers. He is an important part of extending our business.”
McMillan added: “I am delighted to be re-joining Canopius. It’s a great place to work and highly respected in the Insurance market. I’ve been closely watching the Group develop and I am looking forward to helping further its growth ambitions and adding my expertise to the team.”
